Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke at the beginning of the cabinet meeting and said that "the crisis in Hadassah has gone on too long. I have made efforts, via the health minister who is working assiduously on this matter and via others including the president, to reach a solution to the crisis. These efforts have so far been unsuccessful. A petition has been submitted to the Supreme Court which will be discussed Wednesday and everyone is awaiting the hearing.

I ask the sides to make one last effort and just restore the situation to what it was before- and then take a period of half a year to a year to assess the matter, not to wait another two days and cause needless suffering."
